I’m a 41 yr old married woman with a HS senior. ...

I’m a 41 yr old married woman with a HS senior. I love myself and have enough self-esteem to fill a stadium. HOWEVER, I wanted my SEXY back…for ME!!!

With that being said, one night I decided to look into liposuction and a half hour later I’d made my decision to get it AND had a couple of consultation apts.

When I went for my consultation, the office suggested I get a TT. Now I know I said I wanted my sexy back but I also said I’m 41 yrs old. I’m not trying to be bikini sexy. Since I’m married I explained I only wanted to be “clothes on sexy”. They then suggested I get lipo on my ab, love handles, and bra pads. That was TOO drastic for someone new to the whole lipo concept. I just wanted a smaller stomach...geeezzzzz! I walked out with my procedure scheduled for Oct 31st for lipo on my upper and lower abdominal sections. (I regret that decision now)

After leaving the office I started thinking if I’d made the right decision and Buyer’s Remorse set in…Would I look awkward with only a small stomach? Will my bra pad and love handle sections make me off centered? Would the lipo on my stomach even be noticeable without the love handles and bra pads done? So, I called the office and expressed my concerns. They assured me that MANY ppl have gotten only the stomach done & they saw a noticeable difference.

On Oct 31, 2014 I had upper & lower abdominal lipo at Lift Body in Schaumburg, IL. I was so excited. It was very painful but I felt it was so worth it. Like they say: No pain…No gain (or in this case no pain no loss).

One week after the procedure I completely forgot about my limitations and went bowling with the fam. OMG!!! What was I thinking. I had 2 days of excruciating PAIN! When I went back for a follow-up 2 days later my PP told me I was extremely swollen and I'd set myself back a couple of weeks.

Now, I’m 5 weeks post-procedure and I’m FINALLY starting to see a noticeable change. I’m still swollen in some areas but when I go to see my PP next week I’m hoping to hear “You’re not done losing. “

I will say, I wish I’d come across this website BEFORE my procedure. If I had, I would have opted to go with all three sections at once. I still have the fear of looking weird with a small stomach between the huge hips and over flowing back-fat. LBVS!!!

I’ll keep you guys posted.
